The fastest model iPad is the iPad Air2 with a CPU description of 1.5 GHz e Tri-Cor 64-bit Apple A8X w/Apple M8 Motion Co-Processor and Ram of 2 GB.
The iPad mini 2 and 3 have the same CPU and Ram: CPU: 1.4 GHz Dual-Core 64-bit Apple A7 w/Apple M7 Motion Co-Processor and Ram: 1 GB. The only difference is the Touch ID sensor which the mini 3 has. The iPad Mini 3 would have more options counting the Touch ID sensor.
The iPad Air (5th Generation) is more powerful than the 4th Generation iPad.
In terms of power the iPad Mini 2 and the iPad Air are about the same with the iPad Mini 2 around $100.00 less. In terms of size the Mini 2 is 7.9 inch and the Air is 9.7 inch.
The 3rd Generation iPad and 4th Generation iPad have the same options with one exception, the 4th Generation iPad is more powerful.
I started this post thinking I would purchase a refurbished 4th generation iPad. At this point I am looking more at how I will be using it. As a result, I am going to look at the iPad Air models. The iPad I need must be able to accomdate larger apps and streaming videos.
Any model you chose certainly needs to match your needs.
